Best Friend

I am glad that my best friend is in New York with me. Actually, several years ago, I planned to come to US to study, and I persuaded her to come with me. Finally, both of us decided to come, but she got the visa and I didn’t. She is my best friend ----- Ling.

Being Different from other best friends who met each other in the same schools or in the parties, we met each other online occasionally. It’s usual for people in different sexes to meet online, but seldom for same sex. Every time I was asked by others how I and ling met each, I felt difficult to answer. Because of in their eyes, knowing each other online seemed like unstable friendship. But we are best friends.

Since Ling came to US several years ago, we had kept touch all the time by chatting online, telephone calls, sending greeting cards. I felt distance had never separated us. When I decided to come to New York, she was same exciting as me. After I got the visa, I called her firstly. She is much happier even than me. After that, she began to prepare my apartment in New York, and send me letters about traveling to New York notices. I hardly checked anything online for travel. She is so sweet. When I arrived in New York KFC airport at the first time, she came to airport to drive me to my new apartment which had already well prepared by her. When I saw her at the first glance, I gave her a big hug. I couldn’t help myself because I left my home, my family, my motherland, and experienced a long and tired trip, I was so depressed. But when I saw her, I felt happy. She stood there with a bundle flower. That image will always in my mind in my whole life.
